I saw it. It was awesome. But be warned, this is not a killer mummy movie, its a movie about Elvis and JFK. Mostly Elvis.

Watch the DVD while listening to the Bruce Campbell commentary- he does it in "Elvis" voice.

I was expecting a mummy movie and what I got was a highly original, even heartfelt movie.  At the end I was just stunned.

I made my roommate take me to this film.  I don't have a car you see, and the movie was playing almost fifty miles away (I live in Phoenix).  He brought his friend, and to may amazement, not only did the both of them enjoy it, the entire audience seemed to "get" the whole film.

Of course, it's pretty easy to get this film.  Mostly because it's absolutely hilarious.  Still, you have to love it when an audience loves a film as weird as this.

If any of you enjoy this film, and I know a lot of you do, I highly recommend checking out Joe R. Lansdale's fiction.  You'd be hard pressed to find a better short story writer nowadays.  Especially one as filthy as Lansdale.

His novels are amazing as well.

Check him out, damn you!

Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

Does anyone know about a uk release for Bubba? I just saw that it's available on dvd in usa, but can't find it here.
It never appeared in the cinema, maybe it will and it's just taking a while. Was it shown much in cinemas in u.s?
Can't wait to see it, it sounds amazing from what I've read.

This movie was very amusing - Easily Campbell's best! How can you wrong with a Black JFK as your sidekick?

While on a journey, Chuang Tzu found an old skull, dry and parched.
With sorrow, he questioned and lamented the end of all things.
When he finished speaking, he dragged the skull over and, using it for a pillow, lay down to sleep.
In the night, the skull came to his dreams and said, 'You are a fool to rejoice in the entanglements of life.'
Chuang Tzu couldn`t believe this and asked, 'If I could return you to your life, you would want that, wouldn`t you?'
Stunned by Chuang Tzu`s foolishness, the skull replied, 'How do you know that it is bad to be dead?'
